Picnic shelter reservation fees will increase to $20 per day. Use of picnic shelters is free, but a reservation guarantees availability for group gatherings.

Custer State Park has eliminated its per person fee. Vehicles entering the park will need a $15 per vehicle pass or a $10 per motorcycle pass.

Annual park entrance licenses and daily fees at parks other than Custer will not change.

Revenue generated will be used for park operations in light of an anticipated reduction in state general fund support, higher utility costs and a multi-year effort to combat an infestion of mountain pine beetles in Custer State Park.
